THE DASH POEM
I read of a man who stood to speak
At the funeral of a friend
He referred to the dates on the tombstone
From the beginning…to the end
He noted that first came the date of birth
And spoke the following date with tears,
But he said what mattered most of all
Was the dash between those years
For that dash represents all the time
That they spent alive on earth.
And now only those who loved them
Know what that little line is worth
For it matters not, how much we own,
The cars…the house…the cash.
What matters is how we live and love
And how we spend our dash.
So, think about this long and hard.
Are there things you’d like to change?
For you never know how much time is left
That can still be rearranged.
If we could just slow down enough
To consider what’s true and real
And always try to understand
The way other people feel.
And be less quick to anger
And show appreciation more
And love the people in our lives
Like we’ve never loved before.
If we treat each other with respect
And more often wear a smile,
Remembering this special dash
Might only last a little while
So, when your eulogy is being read
With your life’s actions to rehash…
Would you be proud of the things they say
About how you spent YOUR dash?
Can’t believe I got type this. Uncle Steve you were a great father grandpa and really good man you would give you shirt off your back help a person out we got so much great memories from when I was growing up but not your at peace and pain free and fishing and hunting up there. As you loved to do both fly high God speed now love you and you be missed by me and so much more.
Steve was a great neighbor of my Mom and Dad for 13 years. He would help them anytime they needed him. The whole family of Steve’s has been there for my parents as a matter of fact. You couldn’t ask for better neighbor’s than the Meyer family. When my Mother passed 7 weeks ago Steve was so heart broken over her. Well now they can be together again as neighbors. Fly high and give my parents a kiss for me.
Steve you were a great man. I’ll never forget the fishing trips we took to Illinois. With my dad & all the other friends and family that went. You always had a funny story to tell. You just went with the flow of life. A good man taken from us too soon💔 Fly high.

We haven’t seen much of each other in these past years but there have always been memories of growing up and all we went through. You will be missed. You have raised a loving daughter and provided a foundation for her life. Be at peace. You were loved.
